Starting from the parking lot located at the end of 429th street in Gold Bar, begin riding through the blackberry patch to make it into the forest where the climbing starts.

Once on the climb trail, the goal is to reach the vista loop using the east entrance that comes off the May Creek trail and then make loops as you head back towards the parking lot to hit all the singletrack.

If you're looking for an adventure and more miles, the May Creek trail beyond the vista trail's east entrance can be taken as an out and back to May Creek Falls. Expect some hike a bike creek crossings and rough trail through old road grades.

Solid little black line in Gold Bar. Trail builders did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend a quick rip or two if you’re on your way over 2! Could use a tiny bit of brushing but honestly it’s running just fine.
